Oil Tank Decommissioning.
This large tank in Brussels needed to be fully decommissioned. The oil tank decommissioning was done by Benefil Nederland, for one of our Belgian dealers.
What's the job?
This large tank at the UCL in Brussel needed to be fully decommissioned. However due to it’s positioning it could not be removed as it is partially under a building structure.
The tank has a volume of 210m3. Our Belgian dealer requested assistance in filling the tank in one sitting. Therefore we travelled from The Netherlands, down to Brussels with two of our trucks to get the job done.
Temperature?
No, we didn’t spill our foam everywhere. That’s snow. Yes, even with temperatures below zero we’re able to apply our foam and continue our works.
Filling the tank
The process of filling a large tank like this is similar to the process we use for filling small tanks.
Before the filling can commence we have to empty and clean the tank, (depending on our dealer, some will offer cleaning services in addition for a turn-key solution).
After that the pipes will be placed in strategic places in the tank to ensure every corner is filled.
Finally once the foam has reached the opening of the tank, we can chose to fill the manhole too. This depends on the client’s wishes and requirements.
